Gabriella Lou Brown, daughter of Matt and Headi Brown, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in October. Gabby had just celebrated her 1st birthday and baptism on Sunday, October 7th, when days later everything changed. Gabby will be in the hospital for intense treatments over the next 6-8 months. Gabby has been absolutely amazing through all of this. She is still a happy little girl who plays and laughs just like she always has. All the doctors and nurses keep saying she is the best baby! We believe she will win this battle but she’s has to put in a hell of a fight.

We are thankful for the overwhelming support we have and will continue to receive through this journey. We may not respond to all the texts, messages, phone calls but please know we are reading every single one of them. We need all the strength and support we can get so please keep them coming!

Estelle’s will remain open during all of this, but Matt will be away quite a bit. You can still expect the same great food and service through all of this.

We live in such a wonderful community with so many offering ways to support us during this time.

Matt and Heidi
